The lack of consistency with books is driving me crazy
Are they going to go back and give Kirsten, Addy, and Josefina keepsake guides now or is this just a Sam thing? Why give the other girls their first books at all when 4/6 (3/6 if it’s Kirsten) of the books aren’t currently in production? And they’re not even in order. Why did they discontinue Molly’s second book? Are they going to give Kirsten two abridged books sold separately or is she just stuck with the book in her box and the sold out birthday outfit + book?
For dolls with journals why are some sold separately from the dolls but not all of them? Are the twins going to have a second book? or are they like the new GOTY dolls where the journal counts as the first book? Why do the twin’s journals tell the same story as their book? The current GOTY books start a new story where their journals leave off.
No wonder kids aren’t into the books anymore, this shit is confusing.
Personally I don’t even mind the journals and keepsake guides! It looks like they’re splitting the historical girls into two sub brands with different target demographics and adjusting books accordingly.
I think journals are a smart way to get AG’s ever younger audience to connect with the characters (and the art way cuter than the beforever illustrations). And the keepsake guide is a fun idea! I’m imagining it’ll be a mix of old catalogue style pictures and product descriptions from Sam’s collection mixed with a Looking Back style essay about life in Samantha’s time. Perfect for nostalgic parents wanting to show their kids their childhood doll/accessories.
I just want some consistency please I’m begging 😭
